Read the results

Review candidates individually, comparing published identifiers, profile context, and contradictory signals. A wider search increases the opportunity for unrelated same-name or reused-handle matches, so do not combine candidates merely because they look similar. Follow the available citations and distinguish supported associations from possibilities. Private, removed, or access-controlled accounts remain outside the public search scope.
